So fresh and delicious tasting! All of the ingredients together are a win in the tasty and healthy department and one can't go wrong with this salad. However, because I realized at the last minute that I didn't have carrots and red onion, I had to leave the carrots out and used Vidalia onions instead of the red onion, and used fresh cut tomatoes in place of the cherry tomatoes, but no fear, though changes were made, it was Fabulous! Thank you, duonyte, for sharing this winner here with us. Made it for Only the Lonely tag game.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
